The project will identify the most efficient and cheapest mix of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures needed to eliminate all carbon
dioxide emissions arising from electricity consumption in the Noosa Shire by 2026.

The project will identify and rank possible mixes of renewable electricity generation and energy efficiency measures to achieve the goal. It will
identify actions to drive uptake of renewable energy based on the consultant’s experience and from community consultation.

We will model scenarios of technology choices to quantify their effect on the electricity network and the goal of zero emissions.

The project will provide focus for community engagement during the project and beyond, building upon methods used successfully in similar local
areas.

It will inspire local people and especially businesses to invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and innovative local commercial activity.

It will support the ZEN Inc initiative of a community of local renewable energy businesses to capture an estimated $100M of local projects needed
to achieve zero emissions by 2026. It will enable partnering with Energex/Energy Queensland in the transition to a system of 100% clean electricity.
